Yes, Scomo or should we say Scumo ? ... just because ^^^ ... I think it might actually rate right along wit Malcy's half a billion to that very questionable reef foundation ... although, Scumo's is a lot more insidious tbh.

the only reason he didn't fuck up the country legislatively is that he didn't manage to pass any significant bills that affect locals (stopping boats doesn't lose him voterrs, as the relocated refugees would likely not favour him)

having effectively "opposed" the labor party, he then led the liberals for an excruciating period of inaction, before opposing his own prime minister as vigorously as he opposed the opposition's previous prime ministers

if paralysing government isn't "fucking up the country", then you're right

and yes, i realise that government in this country doesn't fuck up the country, it allows private enterprise and foreign interest to do that to greater or lesser degrees, whilst posturing as the (rather irrelevant) arbiter of such interference

coal , anyone ? cubby station ? perhaps some fracking ? a bit of unregulated cotton and rice at the north end of the entire eastern water catchment ?

the government wastes natural resources for a fraction of their actual value to us, and literally "sells the farm"

“Agencies could oblige a device manufacturer to preload (and then conceal) tracking or screen capture software (spyware) on commercial handsets which could be activated remotely,” said a joint submission lodged by the Communications Alliance (the representative body for Telstra, Optus and device manufacturers like Nokia and Huawei), the Australian Information Industry Association and the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association.

Peter Dutton wants spyware on YOUR mobile phone!

We already have enough Russian, American, Chinese, google, microsoft, spyware and malicious apps doing this but yes - an Australian government sponsored spyware mandated by LAW.

The ABC is most commonly in some state or another of confusion so not terribly surprising

Actually I don't really object to the reef fund, so long as it achieves what it is aspiring to. The reef is a unique treasure, we as a country are totally responsible for it and it has been being abused for decades.

I don't know if others have, I had a dive there once, it was glorious, but I felt like an intruder.

wow. and people ( me too ) were worried about Dutton being a major dictator; do you know I had problems then trying to remember Dutton's name

Surely it must be sooo fricking obvious by now that our pollies need a really base reality check. Cut their pay and privileges, make them do some work and really think things through like in the real world.

You know those French submarines, well the builders and LNP government haven't signed the official agreement and are still squabbling over the contract !!! So we might not even get any subs out of this.
